I bought this unit in 2002 and it has worked flawlessly for nearly six years. It is extremely well insulated, so well that it is cold to the touch on the outside. This means heat is not escaping and you are not using hardly any energy to keep the water warm. It is my second Sears unit - the one before lasted 15 years before leaking. Highly recommended.
